Traditional fabrics of Bhutanese clothing

Just like the costumes of various dynasties in China, the styles of "Dong" and "Qila" are fixed, so the pattern and color matching of fabrics have become the focus of fashion. Traditional weaving in Bhutan is dominated by stripes and plaids, which may be because stripes and plaids are easier to calculate in hand-woven environment. Due to a large number of mechanical weaving from India, women's wear has more choices in color, pattern and fabric.

Due to the influence of Buddhism, the traditional cloth in Bhutan is picked up wild silkworm chrysalis and woven with cooked wild silk, which is tough and durable. In terms of color, before the opening of1960s, due to limited resources, most colors were dyed blue and black in a natural way. But there are too many color changes now. The three ladies in the picture are wearing improved colors and patterns. In the picture, the lady is wearing a dark blue dress, which omits the plug-in. It is a blue striped cloth with traditional colors and patterns, which feels very formal and elegant.

China has a culture of 5,000 years, and each dynasty has different costumes. So if Hanfu is restored, there are too many choices and changes. China has been famous for its brocade for thousands of years, and the large overseas demand for China fabrics has also created the famous Silk Road. If Hanfu can be restored, I believe it will also promote the development and continuation of traditional fabric design.
